Entrez Gene Summary for SERPINE1 Gene

This gene encodes a member of the serine proteinase inhibitor (serpin) superfamily. This member is the principal inhibitor of tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) and urokinase (uPA), and hence is an inhibitor of fibrinolysis. Defects in this gene are the cause of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1 deficiency), and high concentrations of the gene product are associated with thrombophilia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2009]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot for SERPINE1 Gene

Serine protease inhibitor. This inhibitor acts as bait for tissue plasminogen activator, urokinase, protein C and matriptase-3/TMPRSS7. Its rapid interaction with PLAT may function as a major control point in the regulation of fibrinolysis.

Note=High concentrations of SERPINE1 seem to contribute to the development of venous but not arterial occlusions.

Plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 deficiency (PAI-1D) [MIM:613329]: A hematologic disorder characterized by increased bleeding after trauma, injury, or surgery. Affected females have menorrhagia. The bleeding defect is due to increased fibrinolysis of fibrin blood clots due to deficiency of plasminogen activator inhibitor-1, which inhibits tissue and urinary activators of plasminogen. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:9207454}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
